Destiny 2 players exploring the new Heresy episode are encountering a mysterious item: the Curio of the Nine. This enigmatic token, described as bearing "markings of the Nine," has sparked curiosity and confusion among players.
The Nine, the enigmatic beings controlling Unknown Space, remain tight-lipped about the Curio's purpose. The item's in-game description cryptically states, "The Nine do not wish to reveal the purpose for seeking your favor yet…" This leaves players searching for answers online, a frustrating experience for those prioritizing inventory management.
Can You Discard the Curio of the Nine?
While you *can* discard the Curio of the Nine, the in-game warning is clear: it's unrecoverable. The item's description advises, "While this item does not currently appear to have a purpose, guard it with your life – as it cannot be reacquired if discarded." Given the Nine's mysterious and powerful nature within Destiny 2 lore, it's advisable to retain the Curio, at least for the duration of the Heresy episode.
How Long Will Heresy Last?
Launched on February 4th, 2025, Destiny 2 Episode: Heresy is structured into three Acts, each spanning several weeks. Based on previous episodes, Heresy is expected to conclude sometime in the summer of 2025, though a precise end date remains unannounced. It's possible the episode might extend into the fall, but that's less likely.
In short, the Curio of the Nine's purpose remains a mystery for now. Keep it, explore Heresy, and perhaps the Nine will eventually reveal their intentions. For more Destiny 2 content, check out all the 2025 Festival of the Lost skins and how to vote for them.
